Post #14 Your Favorite Animated TV Show

My favorite cartoon show of all time is The Simpsons. The Simpsons follow the life of an “average” American family through their daily lives with hilarious mishaps and events happening to them thought the episodes. The show has quite a bit of both social and political satire in it and isn’t afraid to pull any punches. The screenshot that I choose is part of one of the episodes intros. It depicts Chinese women who appear almost identical working on the drawing of The Simpsons cartoon. The screenshot symbolizes the injustice that are happening out there with companies using both cheap and forced labor to make their products. A lot of people know about this but no one has done anything so The Simpsons show their own cartoon being made, making the statement that unless something is done then this injustice will continue and maybe even evolve into other areas like cartoon making, although doubtful. The cartoon show has a very distinctive artistic style that is very unique. All the people are drawn very simply and the normal skin color for white people is yellow. Color plays a very distinct role since you can’t tell what nationality the cartoon is presenting to you unless they divert from the color yellow. The animation goes further into the social commentary as can be seen in the screenshot. All the workers are frowning and unhappy to show that this is not the work they want to be doing. Some of the workers also have injuries and one even has an eye patch. This could mean ether the conditions where they make The Simpsons is so bad or they are mistreated.
